Smile Nice cam with a little lope in it

PANAVIA Steve, that is a nice little camshaft. Should make about 430ft pound of torque and 340 hp. I had a 501-533 in my 452 that that was the numbers at the crank. Make sure you have camshaft degreed after installing. FE cam shafts come with a 4degree advanced built into them. Your motor will have good bottom end. Depending on valve springs and head work, about 5,800 rpms and you are out of maken power. Good luck with the rear tires. All the torque that comes on off idle will be fun. Rick l. Ps you will need custom length pushrods. This is important to keep the rocker arm or roller in the middle of the valve stem. Talk to Tom about this but I run a loose hydro setup because of racing. I setup my adjuster for .015" depression of the plunger in the lifter. At high rpms the hydro lifters pump up because of oil pressure and the valves will not close all the way on the seats. This is why the motor noses over and goes flat at high rpms with hydro lifters. Some people go 1/2 turn others go 1 turn after the adjuster is slug. You can tell by spinning the pushrod with your finger. The other thing is oiling and are you running restrictors to the rockers and which rockers are you going to run.I have oiling through the pushrods and limiters of .080" in the heads for the Erson rockers. Talk to Tom about this too.
